I really love these kits and usually concentrate on the layering aspects, like ephemera, stickers, and sentiments. There's so much more in the kit and an absolute ton of project inspiration for you.
Today I'm sharing three beautiful cards, using my favorite
Project One - Love Always
I started off by trimming one of the floral pieces of paper 5.25" x 4", and a piece of pink and gold stripe paper 4.25 x 3"
I added those paper layers onto one of the card blanks supplied (A2), and then began to dig through all the elements in the kit, the ephemera, chipboard, sentiments, and stickers, and adding them with foam pads or adhesive.
The postage stamp and those puffy gold hearts are the cutest!
Card 2 - Can Koala's Ride Bikes?
Of course they can! seriously, how stinking cute is this card?! As soon as I saw that koala, I had to make this card. And the bicycle was too perfect not to use!
I added the bicycle with foam pads first, and built my design around that, adding the koala, the little envelope, a few additional leaves, and all those wonderful sentiments. This is such a cute card!
If you haven't noticed, I love a good collage card, and all the beautiful
ephemera makes me incredibly happy.
There are some truly gorgeous papers in the 6"x6" pad this month, and I've used 4 different sheets here, leaving no borders and covering the A2 card base.
Start adding the butterflies, frames, and camera around the card, to find the best position for them, then adhere. Next, start to add the smaller elements, like the bird, coffee mug, and little postage pieces, and sentiments.
Collage cards are some of my favorite to make, and I look forward to my kit arriving each month. It's completely different to what I normally make, and it's so relaxing to get all the elements out, and build up some cards. I'm always left with a ton of materials, and I often carry one making cards, or saving all the beautiful pieces for later collage sessions.
